On a small island is a group of competitive Viking villages. Each believes they embody the true Warrior Spirit and go out of their way to make sure their neighbors know it. In this game, you'll lead your Viking village in various raid, pillaging loot, and then showing it off to impress others.

Feudal Japan is a land of beauty that is governed by strict rules and well-defined lines that should not be crossed.

Defend yourself with sword and cunning, but above all else, never lose your honor.
In the great open wilderness and small towns found in the West, law and order is often at the end of a gun barrel. Those who have power keep it jealously, but no man is immune to a sudden and rather lethal dose of lead poisoning delivered by a bullet. In this game, you will be challenged. Win and you survive another day. Fail and you'll end up being just one more coffin put in the ground.
Finding lost secrets is one thing. Keeping them hidden from others is a completely different challenge.

Oriville Wright once said, "No flying machine will ever fly from New York to Paris." I wonder how he would react to today's busy airline industry.

In this game, you'll be spending your time attempting to please the passengers while still trying to keep your plane up in the air!
There is no such thing as "natural evolution" in the future. Science can now grow entirely new species, augment bodies with powerful new abilities, and have found a way to make robots sentient. War and destruction is everywhere, but a few fight a battle on a different level, championing their various factions in duels. The loser is put in the ground. The winner is that much closer to controlling the universe.
